The second Army to Army Staff Talks (AAST) between India and Cambodia concluded successfully in Hyderabad on July 26, 2024. The five-day engagement focused on enhancing military cooperation between the two nations.
During the talks, both sides explored avenues for expanding training collaborations, conducting tailored courses for Cambodian Army personnel in India, and deploying Indian experts to assist in demining operations. Capacity building through military hardware was also a key topic of discussion.
To showcase India’s cutting-edge defence capabilities, a special event was organized on July 25th at Bharat Dynamics Limited, Hyderabad. Winners of the India Defence Expo (IDEX) were invited to display their innovative products and technologies to the Cambodian delegation. This provided an excellent platform for potential collaborations and technology transfer.
The AAST marks a significant step forward in the India-Cambodia defence partnership. It is expected to further strengthen bilateral relations and contribute to regional peace and stability.
